That's not intentional. Would you be able to share a diff so that I better understand what you had in mind?
> If the document implies that the author is not responsible for incorporating feedback
I don’t believe the document implies that. I think it’s fairly clear that:
1. The author is responsible for addressing/incorporating the feedback, which is already covered under "Acknowledge All Reviewer Feedback" (so perhaps we can leave that as is).
2. The reviewer, when posting an unqualified LGTM, is responsible for ensuring that all feedback has been addressed (i.e., “I've reviewed all comments and confirm they’ve been addressed").
The existing wording covers those points well. The part that is unclear IMO is what happens **after LGTM** and **before commit** when new comments are posted. Hopefully, the additional paragraph I proposed clarifies that.
